Length: 3 hrs and 49 mins

Publisher's summary

Forensic pathologist Janis Amatuzio first began recording the stories told to her by patients, police officers, and other doctors because she felt that no one spoke for the dead. She believed the real experience of death, namely the spiritual and otherworldly experiences of those near death and their loved ones, was ignored by the medical professionals, who thought of death as simply the cessation of breath. She knew there was more. From the first experience of a patient in her care dying to the miraculous "appearances" of loved ones after death, she began recording these experiences. Dr. Amatuzio found that by telling the story of their death to a loved one, she could help bring some sense of completion to the grieving family and friends. Written by a scientist in approachable, nonjudgmental language for anyone who has lost someone they love, this book offers stories that can't be explained in purely physical terms.

Forever Ours

A wonderful reassuring comfort that those we love that have passed on are truly "Forever Ours". A book that helps one cope with death and realize it is not the end. Each time I listened to it, I got more out of it.

I am continually healing after the loss of my mother, grandfather and husband all within 5 months.

My husband and I were both in the funeral and death field. We were married for 23 plus years and dated for more than five years prior. Over those years we shared many stories surrounding our work. I remember being asked how we did the type of work we did and do. My husband had became a licensed embalmer after working with his aunt at her mortuary at an early age. He also worked at the county morgue for 20 plus years. This is where we met. I remember being fascinated with death and forensics for as long as I can remember. So I was not surprised that I would marry someone in the industry. After repeatedly being asked why we went into this field. My husband said he couldn’t imagine being anything else (other than a professional football player). I’ve always felt this was my calling as well. After all we ourselves had been the grieving family and worked in this field and had a true understanding of everyone’s needs.
Recent I lost my mother, my grandfather and my husband all within 5 months. My husband was diagnosed with Hodgkin Lymphoma 1 year prior. He would often tell me dreams he would have. I’d sometime have to determine if it was a dream or the medications he was given. On one of my visits, his last of many hospitalizations just 2 weeks before my husband passed away, he said to me “I guess your mom and my mom already know”. Although I was in a bit of denial, I knew what he was saying, I later found a sense of comfort. My mother and mother-in-law had not met in this life yet these two amazing ladies came and escorted my wonderful husband along his journey. I truly believe we receive signs to prepare us before our loved one move on. He has since visited our granddaughter. Telling her he missed and loved her and to tell me he and loved me so much. She said in her dream he looked like he did before he became ill. Wow! I am still adjusting to life without them but try to find some comfort in the wonderful memories. It’s nice knowing they are “forever ours”.

Pathologist Janis Amatuzio has movement together a series of conversations proving that several people share a special secret: death is not something to fear. Since Amatuzio herself reads the book, I felt as if she had spoken directly to me. I can’t wait to share it with others—and to read her next book.
